Cute Way to Display the Kiddos' Schoolwork

I wanted to make something special for my nieces/sisters to display all the fun papers/artwork/crafts they will be bringing home from school this year.  I saw an idea similar to this on Pinterest and kinda tweaked it to make it my own.  :)  This is what I ended up with...



 

I gave them to my sisters for their birthday this weekend, even though the gift was sort of more for the nieces...  I'm excited to see if they get some use out of them once school starts up in the coming weeks.  The girls were so excited (all FOUR of them) to take them home and hang them up!  Such a fun and easy project!!  :)

Scutterbotch Pie

This is totally not on "the list" for this summer, but I've been wanting to try it for awhile, so I'm including it on the blog this week. When I was a kid, my absolute FAVORITE kind of pie was scutterbotch.  Instead of birthday cakes, I would request scutterbotch pie.  My Grandma Lane used to make it for me from time to time just because I loved it.  My Mom made it for holidays and special occasions and it was oh so good!!!  :)  Life happened and I moved away and the scutterbotch pies came less often.  I can't remember the last time I had a piece of scutterbotch pie.  About a month or so ago, I wanted to make it for some reason...can't recall why.  I didn't have the time then, but decided to give it a go today.  It wasn't TOO terribly difficult, although, I resisted the urge to call my mom in the middle of my pie-making endeavor when I read "brown the butter and brown sugar over medium-high heat" and thought to myself, "BROWN the BROWN...

Christmas 2013

Another Christmas has come and gone...why does it always go so fast?!?!?  I was grateful to be off this Christmas so I could enjoy the day with my family.  I kicked off the morning with my parents and a delicious pan of caramel french toast!  YUM!!!  Then, the rest of the family arrived and we enjoyed a feast of food before diving into all the presents that were under the tree.  The kids were lots of fun to watch as the opened all their gifts...here are a few snapshots of the chaos fun... Cooper being his usual ornery self Lily Ann and her Mama Lily Ann and Ruthie opening presents Cooper is really getting into this present thing! Lily got a barbie! Luke was so funny...he opened one gift and then played with it for 30 minutes before returning to open another... I think he was saying, "Oh WOW!" in response to a toy that made noises...and then he would grab his cheeks in disbelief!  :)  It was hilarious! Cooper like...

Snuggle Time

I took Sophie on a REALLY long walk this afternoon and completely wore her out.  She is lying next to me on the couch snoozing away as I blog and look at lots of interesting things on Pinterest.  She can be a real sweetheart when she wants to be.  However, it took several hours of biting, jumping, peeing on the kitchen floor, and tug of war to get her into this state.  ;)  It's so cute how she has to be touching my arm at all times, even though I'm typing.  It doesn't seem to bother her too much... Lily Ann celebrated her 6th birthday last weekend...I can't believe it!!!  She is growing up so fast!  We had a dolphin-themed birthday party at Grandma's house on Saturday!  Lily got lots of birthday presents and even had a dolphin cake.  (Way to go Teri and Al!!!  Looks awesome!)  Here are a few pics of the celebration!!
